Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

Creepy pinko nerds have infested the White House and they're after your liberties, particularly your right to roam. Among them is a second-generation marxist and small-town mayor who couldn't get potholes paved, Pete Buttgieg. While preaching his gospel, he made the mistake of saying the quiet part out loud, admitting he and his statist cronies want to track every mile you drive and CHARGE YOU FOR IT. Not on our watch - the Gearhead Consultancy has warned you about the "mileage tax" for a decade.

Hostus Maximus Justin Fort was having a bad day on this episode, so enjoy the ride - he didn't. There's a lot of information and unbridled finger-pointing in this one too, so you might learn something.

It's time for gearhead class: smart thinking for your next run to the salvage yard (Junkyard 102!).  At the intersection of knowledge and function is the junkyard (Best Auto, this time) you too can be the function whore.  From impounds to rebuilds, rotating stock and picking up nuts and bolts, we'll help you know what's usable and what's junk (hah!).

This episode's got a good slathering of additional sauce: Chef Jeff and Dave Lozeau, Fu Manchu and New Jersey brunos, plus Breck Brew's Vanilla Porter.

It's gearhead news from the Garage Hour: stuff goin' on that you ought to know.

- Ford ships a $900,000,000 plant to Mexico after promising its workers it would be in Ohio.

- How leaving your $60,000 Wrangler in low-four while towing is a 52,000rpm mistake.

- A rich Chinese guy gets out of a crash-tantrum in New York City by waving the elitist-pity sign.

- A funny tale of how to cause billions in damage with tanks.

- New rovers on Mars (awesome) and old tricks in space (repo man's coming for your satellite!).

- A VERY upsetting tale of a small brewery in Kalifornistan beset by tiny tyrants and wrongheaded bureaucrats.

There's more exploding, too - thermometers, projects, and political attacks on your hobbies.  Fortunately, there's also Trinity Brewing's Dark Cherry Radler, Josh Homme and QOTSA, KYUSS and Vultures, plus "Season in the Abyss" and another terrible move/great soundtrack (Orbital/Kirk Hammet).

Don't start drinking too beforehand.  In this selection of random consulting, the Garage Hour does sawzalls (sorry, reciProcating saws) and blowtorches, a review of butane VS MAPP, the false sense of safety caused by electronic stability nannies, soup VS goulash (w/ a two-meat chili chaser), plus real beer chasers @ Trinity Brewing like Soul Horkey, Slap Yer Mammy, Garden of the Hops, Raspberry Kolsch & Idaho 7 Pale.

Cohosts in this episode include Dr. Hibbert, fire, a foot-thick sheet of ice, the BFH (the "F" is for "friendly"), Seattle weather, sheddy sheds and Johnny Cash.

The Garage Hour goons have Second Amendment news you ought'a know:

- Is gun control code for people control?

- A list of companies that use the money you pay them to attack the 2A (some you might know).

- Why leftist and marxist neurotics are desperate to thwart the 2A (because it's a threat to them).

- New reps speak out on how 2A rights are even more valuable to poor, inner city taxpayers (who needs to protect themselves more?).

- Why most restrictions on firearms rights are racist, sexist, elitist and statist (just ask the NRA).

- The state of Washington and DC both triumph over gun-grabbers (or, Tiny Jerk Laws + Loopholes & Lobbyists).

When the bureaucrats line up to give you their best Body Snatchers impression, you know you're on the right (constitutional) side.  Be a brick in the wall with the Garage Hour, with Americans like AWR Hawkins, Burgess Owens, Lauren Bobert and Herschel Walker.

Jeez - this episode is all over the place.  From Led Zeppelin VS Southern Culture on the Skids to Ray's blimp-bomb over Akron, you're not going to be able to find your seat.  We couldn't even find the door.  Fortunately, there's lots of goodies: a review of pegboard (poseur alert?), the new Garden of the Gods Beer Train, some overenthusiastic geeking around on rollaways and cowboy movies, and some crazy crap about magazine drills.

There's also a crapton of good music - QOTSA, Anthrax, Helmet, Rammstein, Corrosion, Slot and the Desert Sessions.  Now go organize your toolbox.

Gearhead News #2: you ought'a know this.

- The gov't wants to waste more of your money on the barely solvent USPS with electric mail vans (because windmills worked out so well).

- Ford's new Broncos are falling apart because of a shortage of bolts (did management forget how to?).

- Archeologists dug a chariot out of Pompeii's pyroclastic cement (would your Camaro last that long?).

- The F-35 keeps getting its ass handed to it by 30-year old planes.

- Ford is worried that the NRA's bankrupsty will cost them 150-so cars.

- The Chinese bat plague just killed Fry's.

On top of stories about cars, trucks, beers and guns, we've got Thomas Edison, bikes and cars on Palomar, Lemmy & Limbaugh, and Trinity Brewing Company's DDH-45 on sip.
